People live in the courtyard, pledge themselves to the country

But soon Zhang Lei found out that he had guessed wrong, and soon his staff helped out an old man in his 60s from the basement, followed by a group of people, the old scientist and the arrested comrades.

"Old Zeng!" Zhang Lei excitedly stepped forward to support the old man, and said excitedly, "You have suffered! We are here to save you!"

Mr. Zeng looked a little depressed, so he could only nod and smile. Seeing this, Zhang Lei quickly ordered his subordinates to take him away first, and talk about other things later.

Zhang Lei settled them in a manor outside Philadelphia, which was their secret base.

"Comrade Lin, Comrade He, it's really hard for you!" Although Zhang Lei didn't figure out what happened, it didn't affect his gratitude to Lin Xiao and the others.

"We didn't do anything. It should be said that God is on our side. If it weren't for good luck, tonight would not be so smooth!" Lin Xiao laughed: "In short, God blesses the flowers!"

"Yes, God blesses you for planting flowers!" Although Zhang Lei is an atheist, Lin Xiao's words made him a little excited, and he shook Lin Xiao's hand firmly.

"By the way, Comrade Zhang, I would like to ask about the specific situation of our compatriots detained in Washington! Are there any compatriots detained in other places?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Comrade Lin, why are you asking this?" Zhang Lei asked in surprise: "Don't act rashly, Washington D.C. is not like Philadelphia. The place of detention there is in a military base, which is heavily guarded. If you can’t get in, and you don’t even know the details inside, you’ve already lost a dozen comrades, so don’t mess around!”

"Comrade Zhang, don't worry, I won't mess around, I just want to know the specific situation!" Of course, Lin Xiao would not tell the truth: "That's right, I know people from the Tang Gang, and they owe me a big favor. I want to ask them for help to see if I can find a way, at least to find out the safety of those detainees, so we can deal with it!"

"A member of the Tang Gang? Isn't that the Hongmen branch?" Zhang Lei hesitated for a moment: "But most of them supported the bald man back then, and came here after they failed. They don't like us very much. Would you ask them for help? Will something go wrong?"

Lin Xiao has some understanding of this period of history: "You have misunderstood, Hongmen made great contributions to our cause back then, but because Mr. Sun used Hongmen's identity back then, many Hongmen The middleman gets close to that bald man!"

"In addition, after the bald man failed, many generals fled to the United States and joined the Hongmen, so there was such a misunderstanding!"

"But the people of Hongmen are very patriotic. They donated money and materials back then, and even devoted themselves to our cause. Among other things, Mr. Situ was invited back to China to participate in the founding ceremony by our Mr. ?”

"So you don't have to worry about this. Except for the enemy agents over there, the compatriots in the United States will not only not betray us, but will also bring us a lot of support and convenience!"

Zhang Lei said dubiously: "Is that so? Well, if they can really help, then it's okay for me to tell you."

Zhang Lei told Lin Xiaohua's military base in detail about the situation, and then said: "I don't know the situation in other places, but basically all Chinese talents who want to return to China have been detained by the United States and sent to Washington. We don't know the exact number, but there will be no less than thirty!"

Zhang Lei said with a gloomy expression: "These people all have a heart to serve the country with fists, but the United States is afraid that our country will quickly become stronger after they go back, so they are forcibly detained in the United States with such indecent tricks. Claiming to the outside world that they did it voluntarily! I don’t know what kind of inhuman treatment they have suffered!”

Lin Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they will be free!"

He Yuzhu knew the meaning of Lin Xiao's words. In order to prevent Zhang Lei from being aware of Lin Xiao's intentions, he took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Comrade Zhang, what are you going to do with these comrades and Mr. Zeng? You can't hide them here forever." Well, the intelligence agencies of the United States will find it here soon!"

Zhang Lei is also a little worried: "I am also very worried about this issue. These comrades have shown their faces. They must not stay in the United States any longer, but the goal of letting them return to China with Mr. Zeng is too big, alas."

Lin Xiao's heart moved: "I can ask people from the Tang Gang for help with this matter, so how about it, you go with me to meet the people from the Tang Gang, and I will help you get a line!"

The next day, Lin Xiao took Zhang Lei to Chinatown and found the Tang family martial arts gym.

Tang Yi didn't expect Lin Xiao to come to the door so soon, and hurried out to greet him:
"Brother Lin, come to Tang's Martial Arts Hall, welcome, please come in!"

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Lei behind Lin Xiao, and then looked away, without saying anything.

After sitting down in the lobby, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Tang Yi, are your injuries okay?"

Tang Yi smiled wryly: "Thank you for your concern, I still can't die!"

Lin Xiao saw that although he looked fine on the surface, his face was pale and his voice was short of breath. It is estimated that his injury was not as easy as he said.

"I'm here today for nothing else. This is James, the manager of Hasson Pharmaceuticals. I want to see if there is any place for cooperation!" Lin Xiao didn't continue to ask, but turned around and introduced Zhang Lei.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is also an official, and he is the kind who specializes in secret work!" Tang Yi squinted his eyes and asked without any concealment.

"Why, does Mr. Tang have any opinion on us?" Hearing Tang Yi's words, Zhang Lei frowned and asked directly.

"Don't dare, we are just businessmen who do our best and don't want to deal with the government. We don't violate the river water, so there is nothing we can cooperate with!" Tang Yi said neither softly nor hard.

"You!" Zhang Lei didn't expect Tang Yi to be so tough, and couldn't help but blame Lin Xiao for bringing him.

Lin Xiao didn't know why Tang Yi resisted them so much, but he couldn't go back empty-handed today.

"You gave me this plaque. Now I use it to ask Mr. Tang for a favor. It can be regarded as a settlement between us. How about it?" Lin Xiao took out the jade plaque and asked calmly.

Now that Tang Yi has shown such an attitude, Lin Xiao doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, he won't rush to put a hot face on someone's cold ass.

When Tang Yi heard that Lin Xiao didn't even call him by his own name, and called him Mr. Tang directly, he knew he was a little angry, but he really didn't want to deal with people in China, so it's fine to keep the two clean.
